Guidelines for the implementation of UNE 166000 standards for R&D&I management in the Chilean municipal public sector

Abstract

esearch, development and innovation (R&D&I) are essential activities, intimately linked to human beings and their organizational structures. Incorporating R&D&I in Municipalities translates into direct benefits and constant improvements for: communes, citizens, institutions, taxpayers, services and officials. Therefore, the lack of organizational norms and management tools that drive R&D&I could undermine the importance of innovative projects, and the loss of resources (human, technical and financial), minimizing the social impact of it. For its validation this proposal was applied in the Municipality of Vallenar (IMV - Ilustre Municipalidad de Vallenar). The results obtained indicate that the implementation of an R&D&I management system in municipal public institutions is feasible, highly necessary, and should be integrated to the Municipal Management Improvement Program, which cannot start without the corresponding diagnostics of R&D&I.
